This is getting as far outside the dots as poetically possible! So many times we poets get trapped in the literal manifestations of those aspects of life we struggle with. As you often do, you give us an example of how to get way beyond the drudgery of a thing & just let the beauty of simplicity & truth shine thru (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Good morning, well if you can call 1AM morning, that is. The more I see, read, and think about this style the more I like it.

This poem says so much in so little words. I thought it was in the form of a diamante at first. Regardless, it tugs at the heartstrings.

Thank you :)

I relate to this poem, Cherrie. My 47 year old niece is autistic. She knows what is going on...but is also trapped from speech. I think in her world, she is generally happy...seems to be...but how could we know?

On new year's eve we got Gage our 12 year old grandson. He is precious and mostly contended. He has taken to the change in a brilliant way. There is a true beauty in the joy he gives.
